I wouldn't say that the copying of materials is an issue, why would it be? It seemed that the issues on the European end were related to software compatibility with their 50-Hz TVs and content.
Of course the loss of a job isn't something to celebrate, but it at least shows some concept of rational business sense from Microsoft. It was determined that there was financial waste within the workforce, and it's had for Microsoft to be faulted for saying that the company does not wish to pay unneeded employees.
I see no reason to believe we'd get proper information on a firings breakdown, but it WOULD be nice to see the full assessment of that situation, because it would probably give us a small idea of what Microsoft is thinking. Obviously Nokia came with more employees than it needed to, and that's where the majority of the cuts are. They obviously don't believe in the TV content creation, between those firings and the closing of the studio (which reports are saying was clumsily-managed). If another large chunk is Euro marketing, it's a sign Microsoft isn't focused on that continent for console sales.
I don't really know what to say without more information about the changes, just that it sucks to be put in that position, but they seem to be getting taken care of well by Microsoft (relative to being cut loose with no severance/benefits, as a low-end job might result in).
